Although I do agree, that all the inhabitants of ex-Yugoslavia (Slovenians and Macedonians apart) technically and linguistically speak the same language, I do not believe it is correct to claim, that someone born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, although of (half)-Serbian descent, speaks Serbian. I really do not want to stir some nationalistic Sentiments or start a huge debate, but language simply isn't something, that would transmit itself through the blood line. For example, people in Serbia always say MLEKO (for Milk), but you'd never hear it anywhere in BiH or Croatia - everybody there says MLIJEKO.

Serbian or Bosnia and Herzegovina?

From the reference given in Serbian, I found the Engilsh translation of it says: my mother is from Serbia. I always had the impression that he is Serbian. The coach of Serbian NT (Dick Advocaat, a Dutch man) had once explained why Zivko was not called up by Serbian NT. Is there any source that could confirm Zivko's other nationality?

Richairo Živković
Can someone explain why the correct spelling of his name was changed to the current spelling on the article? Richairo's father is Antillean, from Curaçao, but he was raised by his Serbian mother, and he carries his Serbian mother's last name. He has dual citizenship and holds Serbian and Dutch passports. I feel like someone changed the spelling of his name to a bastardized version, because of his mixed heritage. I also don't agree with the comments above from Ervin from Berlin. Richairo grew up speaking Serbian at home. He has also visited his family in Serbia in the Summer. You should refrain from projecting your own experiences onto others and assume that you understand their circumstances based on your own. Just because you don't speak the language does not mean that he doesn't, and that surely does not mean we need to purposefully misspell his name, as if his Serbian heritage is so distant. It is not. Please consider spelling his name correctly as it is on the current Dutch Wikipedia for example. Thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.249.116.15 (talk) 11:10, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
